Important Battery Precautions

• Any battery may present a risk of
fi re, explosion, or chemical burn
if abused. Do not try to charge a
battery that is not intended to be
recharged, do not incinerate, and
do not puncture.

• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as
alkaline batteries, may leak if left in
your product for a long period of
time. Remove the batteries from the
product if you are not going to use
it for a month or more.

• If your product uses more than one
battery, do not mix types and make
sure they are inserted correctly.
Mixing types or inserting incorrectly
may cause them to leak.

• Discard any leaky or deformed bat­tery immediately. They may cause
skin burns or other personal injury.

• Please help to protect the environ­ment by recycling or disposing of
batteries according to federal, state,
and local regulations.

Some of the following information may
not apply to your particular product;
however, as with any electronic product,
precautions should be observed during
handling and use.

• Before using the product, please
follow and adhere to all warnings,
safety and operating instructions
located on the product and in the
user book. Save all instructions for
future reference.

• Do not expose product to rain and
do not use near water; such as, sink,
wet basement, swimming pools, etc.

• Always leave suffi cient space around
the product for ventilation. Do
not place product in or on a bed,
rug, bookcase or cabinet that may
prevent air fl ow through vent open­ings.

• Do not expose product to extreme
temperatures such as found near
a hot radiator or stove, or in a car
parked in the Summer sun.

• Connect power cord only to AC
power source as marked on the
product.

• Some products employ a polarized
AC line plug (one blade is wider).
This is a safety feature. The plug
will go in the power outlet only
one way. If the plug doesn’t go into
the outlet completely, turn the plug
over and put it in the other way. If
it still doesn’t fi t, contact a qualifi ed
electrician to change the outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

• Route power cord to prevent it
from being pinched, or walked on,
or melted by a hot stove or radiator.

• To clean cabinet, unplug AC power

cord, then use a soft cloth damp­ened only with water.

• Do not place lighted candles, ciga­rettes, cigars, etc. on the product.

• Unplug AC power cord from outlet
during a lightning storm or when
product is left unused for a long pe­riod of time to prevent damage due
to lightning or power line surges.

• Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids do not spill
into the product.

• Never add accessories that the
product has not been designed to
accommodate.

• Use only the manufacturer’s ap­proved mounting instructions and
hardware when installing product.

• Do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. This product does not
contain customer serviceable compo­nents.

• Do not handle the unit or power
cord when your hands are wet or
damp

• Carts and Stands —
The appliance should
be used only with a
cart or stand that is
recommended by the
manufacturer.

• An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

• Damage Requiring Service –This
product should be serviced by quali­fi ed service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the

plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has

been spilled into the product; or

C. The product has been exposed to

rain; or

D. The product does not appear

to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or

E. The product has been dropped,

or the cabinet damaged.

• When service or repairs are com­pleted, ask the service technician to
perform the safety check described
in the service manual and to
confi rm that replacement parts have
the same safety characteristics as
the original parts.

• Overloading - Do not overload the
wall outlets, extension cords or inte­gral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fi re or electric
shock.

• IF YOUR PRODUCT OPERATES ON
BATTERIES, adhere to the follow­ing precautions:

A. Any battery may leak electrolyte

if mixed with a different battery
type, if inserted incorrectly, or if all
batteries are not replaced at the
same time.

B. Any battery may leak electrolyte

or explode if disposed of in fi re or
an attempt is made to charge a bat­tery not intended to be recharged.

C. Discard leaky batteries immedi-

ately. Leaking batteries can cause
skin burns or other personal injury.
When discarding batteries, be sure
to dispose of them in the proper
manner, according to provincial and
local regulations.

Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120V~60Hz

• The AC power plug is
polarized (one blade is
wider than the other)
and only fi ts into AC
power outlets one way.
If the plug will not go
into the outlet completely, turn the
plug over and try to insert it the
other way. If it still does not fi t,
contact a qualifi ed electrician to
change the outlet, or use a different
one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.

• Power is fed to the unit even when
it is not functioning. To cut the
power supply off, the power cable
must be unplugged.

Battery back-up operation

• The power failure protection circuit
will not operate unless battery is
installed.

• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the wake function still
occurs during the power interrup­tion if remaining battery power is
adequate.

• Normal operation will resume after
AC power is restored so you will not
have to reset the time or wake.

To install the battery:

1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift
the door out and off the cabinet.

Power failure indicator

When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings
will change (unless battery is
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should readjust the
time and alarm settings.

Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/IEC
6LR61) battery is recom­mended. Carbon-zinc battery
may be used but memory holding
time will be substantially reduced.
Memory holding time for a fresh
alkaline battery is approximately
8 hours (if radio or alarm are not
operated) which should take care
of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery life,
the unit should remain plugged
into an AC outlet. As the battery
gets older, its voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to
replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can
badly damage the clock radio.

Turning on/off the Radio

Press the ON/OFF button on the top
of the unit to turn on the radio. Press
again to turn off the radio.

Selecting bands

Slide the band switch on the side of
the unit to select between AM and FM
band.

Tuning to stations

Turn the TUNING knob on the side of
the unit to tune up and down radio
frequency.

Antennas

AM Antenna – A built-in ferrite rod
antenna eliminates the need for an
outside antenna for AM reception.
Rotating the unit slightly may improve
reception of distant AM stations.

FM Antenna – The power cord acts
as your FM antenna. The power cord
picks up moderate to strong stations
and eliminates the need for an external
antenna in most strong signal areas. Be
sure the power cord is stretched out to
its full length. Do not coil or bunch the
cord together. Changing position of the
power cord may improve reception.

Built-In AFC – The Built-In Automatic
Frequency Control (AFC) works only on
FM. It helps to reduce drift on FM recep­tion and to keep the radio locked in on
the FM station to which it is tuned.
